I love my bbi mustangs too, they look awsome with the weels up. That monster rear wheel looks like it could have passed as a small steamroller, not too mention it doesn't sit low enough, thus causing the whole plane to sit nose to high. Thats my biggest compalint with bbi, a lot of there planes are ...

Hmm sounds like BBD, OLd Crow and Bunnie seem to be the favs soo far. Deffinetly would put BBD in a VERY close second, but like TMan said, just depends on the day.

Everybodys favorite mustang

I heard someone a while back grumbling how many P-51s he had and thought everybodys got to have at least 1. Just curious to see what everybodys favorite paintscheme is? BBI or 21st. I will have to say mine is Bunnie. Not that the scheme is so cool, but how bright and crisp the paint work is on this ...

ohh yeah I would. Maybe they would paint it all black with some red stars and call it a MIG 28. :shock: If they make a couple of Maverick and Iceman figures with the release of the Tomcat,were all set.

Just picked up Stuka Zu Fuss for 15.00, and a hetzer for 9 dollars, north side of GrandRapids. I knew I could squeeze out that 35 dollar balance from that TRU giftcard before it was too late.

Red nose 109G is Herman Grafs mount. Its is my favorite 109G, but always wondered why 21st did not paint the tail white like all other models of Graf's I've seen? No matter, its a beauty. Love that red tulip burst.

I agree both the mig and sabre are some of 21st finest aircraft. Its sad to think of all that could be from them with each release getting better and better. Congrats on the buy, you got a great jet for a good price in MOP. If only they could have released the Mig Mad Mavis.

I would have to say it is one of the most rare razorbacks and the neatest. Have them all except that one, never could find it except on ebay for more than I wanted to pay. One just sold for $118 the other day. Its pricy but there just going to keep going up too, kind of like your taxes.

Thanks for the heads up guys. Just put in a order for an avenger with the damaged box. Always wanted this scheme and never could find one for this cheap. Sometimes its worth the wait, you never know especially in this scale.
